Do I have enough yarn?  Yes.  Can I resist a deal?  No.

I wanted a pointy knitpicks circ in size 3.  Words cannot express how much I love these needles; IMHO KP options are the only option!  Then I learned about the 40% summer books sale, and I decided after many a flip through at the bookstore, I needed the Knitter’s Book of Yarn.  Such a great reference!  And, then of course, I needed some yarn to get free shipping.  Comfy in Honeydew, this is earmarked for Yosemite, which is possibly my favorite Knitty design, ever.  The color is gorgeous, a light green, not too yellow.

Webs had Queensland Kathmandu dk on closeout for ridiculously cheap.  I loved this yarn (in the aran weight, anyway) when I knit up my veste evereste.  This is for demi, from rowan vintage style.  Demi was written at aran gauge, but I know I’ll get more wear out of a dk weight sweater, especially something with all that cabling (heavy!).  The color is 401, a bluey-purple with a tinge of gray.

In other news, I had myself a little seaming party this weekend.  Wallis, the Drawstring Chemise, and the ruched cardi are all virtually done.  FO posts soon!
